Is it possible to format a column so that if you enter "120701" it will show up as the date "12/07/01"?

Good question. trick is to fromat the column to custom dd-mm-yy or mm-dd=yy if in USA date zones.
If you enter as non formatted then you get a nuber and if you format it goes xx/xx/1930??

Custom formay firts to dd/mm/yy

This will work for appearance purposes only as long 6 digits are input. Format custom and use the following format ##"/"##"/"##.

If you're looking to vary the data input, we can create a different solution for you.

If you want to work with this data as REAL DATES, try adjusting the tip of the week for Oct 31st.

That works very well.
